A notorious 81-year-old lawyer who went to jail for blinding his lover with lye has found himself in hot water again—and he took another fellow criminal defense lawyer down with him.

The lawyer, who was disbarred after the felony conviction, has been using a Queens, NY criminal defense lawyer as a “front man” so he could continue to practice law.

The criminal defense attorney was subsequently disbarred for his actions, as the state appeals court ruled that “[The aiding defense lawyer] afforded so little regard to his law license as to allow a disbarred felon to use his name freely on court papers and to advertise himself as his paralegal.”
